Shopping Centre Toilets in Victoria

Victoria records 359 of Australia's 1,470 public toilets in shopping centres — 24% of the national total. That makes it the second-largest state total, behind New South Wales (526). They sit in 218 named towns.

Epping (9), Melbourne (9) and Mill Park (9) carry the most between them. Those 3 account for 27 of the 359; a further 136 towns record exactly one.

Among them are Jam Factory at 500 Chapel Street, Century City Walk, Barkly Street and Post Office. Around Epping the listings run to Epping North Shopping Centre, Greenbrook Shopping Centre and Aurora Village.

Of the 359, 219 have a baby-change table, 313 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 10 are Changing Places facilities. They are 6% of the 5,803 public toilets recorded in Victoria, and 1% of the round-the-clock ones.

313 of the 359 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Bendigo Homemaker Centre and Eden Rise Village. 10 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Centro The Glen and Westfield Knox. 7 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Kmart Centre and Prahran Square. 6 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 219 of the 359 have a baby-change table, and 215 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

31 of the 359 are published as open 24 hours — such as Caix Square and Rawson Shopping Centre. 57 open in daylight hours only, 6 list variable hours and 9 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4am at The Stables Shopping Centre and the latest closing is 11pm at Dorset Square Shopping Centre. 5 are shown as closed on Mondays. 84 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

None of them are recorded as charging for entry. Centre facilities are tied to trading hours, and the block itself is usually the last thing locked. Where a centre records a parents' room it is counted below as a baby-change facility. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
